Responsiveness of Chubb Insurance Intermediary Agents Access Reflected in Web 3.0 Websites by Miami Web Design Firm

MIAMI, FL, September 14, 2010 (Press-News.org) Fitch Ratings--a global ratings agency widely respected by investors and underwriters--has just revised its sector outlook on the U.S. property and casualty insurance industry upwards for both commercial and personal lines. The change in outlook reflects their view that the industry has withstood the current financial crisis reasonably well, particularly in comparison with other financial services sectors. A major P&C player contributing to that upward momentum is the Chubb Group of Insurance Companies, whose shares recently traded at a new 52-week high. The stock market is bullish on Chubb, and so is Agents Access Insurance.

From their offices in California and Florida, insurance intermediary Agents Access functions as a Managing General Agency (MGA) recognized for consistently providing independent agents with streamlined access to Chubb's comprehensive lines of coverage for both individual and business risk management. According to Arthur Falconi, President of Agents Access of Florida, "For the fourth consecutive year, Agents Access of Florida has received Chubb's prestigious Cornerstone designation, an award based on new business, business retention and loss ratios. Of about 3,200 U.S. insurance agencies that work with Chubb, less than seven percent earn this distinction."

And what's the secret to their success? Quoting Gary Golnick, President of Agents Access of California: "We focus on providing our network of independent agents with fast response and reliable service. We've always been just a phone call away, day or night. And with our new Web 3.0 design by WebReDesignMiami.com, we'll be extending our presence and responsiveness across the Semantic Web."

That new online presence for Agents Access consists of separate but similar websites for their east- and west-coast insurance brokerage hubs: Agents-Access.com for Florida, and AgentsAccessInsurance.com for California. For both sites, the snappy flash-free and iPad-ready animation of each page load reflects the agency's commitment to rapid response. Their jQuery-enhanced source passes all seven tests of "Web 3.0 readiness" and consists of W3C-validated tableless HTML5 and CSS3 with Unobtrusive Javascript generated by custom-coded dynamic PHP for the LAMP platform (Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP). This professional standards framework and coding discipline separates content from format and behavior and thereby optimizes efficiency, accessibility and search engine visibility. The website template leverages contemporary design conventions such as 1024-pixel screen display optimization, layered PNG gradients and a 14-pixel default font, plus integrated tools to facilitate browser branding, link-building and social media integration.

For Web 3.0 designer and front-end developer Bruce Arnold, it's all about "web design with results in mind"(tm). And as Arthur Falconi confirms, that's no trivial task: "Bruce guided us through the maze of Semantic Web design concepts, considerations and criteria, and made sure that our websites are W3C-compliant and thereby search-optimized. He forced us to focus on results and for our benefit, but it was otherwise a painless process."
